Talent hit bug?

[Markus Heinsohn]

Ratings do not roll over, that would be a big bug, but the game checks that everywhere. So, like RonCo said, big talent increases happen, but when you see a guy becoming a 90 hitter when he was a 5 before (1-100 scale) I'd get suspicious.

The table below shows how many players of any particular age were in the universe during the time of the league (60 years, sim, I think). All settings were default, with scouts off. i measured the number of players who received talent increases and decreases in 20-point bands. So this data, for example, says that seven of 798 17-yo hitters received a talent increase of > 60 points during their 17 yo season.

You can figure the rest our yourself.

I'm curious if you have the continued numbers for 25+ year-olds.
